Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a connector clip for electronic cable connectors. Prior art cable connectors either have no means of retaining the connector in a panel or require a screw type fastener. In this invention, a one-piece clip defines a receptacle for receiving a ribbon cable connector. Spring tabs are provided at ends of the clip for permitting insertion and retention of the clip within a rectangular slot of a panel. The cable connector is insertable into the receptacle of the clip and the clip is insertable into the back panel by hand and without the need for any tools.
Description
~2892~5 The present invention relates, in general, to electronic cable connectors, and in particular to a new and useful connector clip for ribbon cable connectors.
The securing of card-edged type cable connectors to a plane or panel has generally been ignored by the manufacturer of these type of connectors. The manufac-turers either fail to provide any means of retaining their cable connectors or provide simple mounting feet at either end of the connector. These mounting feet may have clearance holes or be threaded for screw type fasteners.
Another method of securing these types of connectors is to provide additional hardware which could be constructed as a hood. The hood may provide both a means of mounting the completed cable assembly and a means 15; to strain relief for electrical contacts of the connector.
The present invention seeks to provide an efficient and economical means for securing ribbon cable edge-type connectors to a back panel or plane.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a clip which can carry a ribbon cable connector and which can be insertable into an opening in a panel without the use of any tools.
~Z~921~ii A further object of the invention is to provide a clip which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
Accordingly, the invention provides a connector clip for a ribbon cable connector comprising a side wall;
a pair of end walls connected to opposite ends of the side wall; a front lip connected to the side wall and to the end walls and extending between the end walls, the side wall, end walls and front lip forming a receptacle having an open front and an open side opposite from the side wall; a directional snap tab extending from each end wall to the receptacle and near a side of each end wall oppo-site from the side wall, and a resilient spring tab con-nected to an outer surface of each end wall near the front lip, each spring tab extending at an angle outwardly from its respective end wall in a direction away from the front lip, each spring tab carrying a panel slot on an outer surface thereof; whereby a cable connector is insertable, without the aid of any tools, into the receptacle behind the front lip, the snap tabs being engaged against the connector for retaining the connector in the receptacle, the spring tabs being resiliently movable toward each other for receiving edges of a panel opening in the panel slots to hold the clip to a panel having panel openings.
;
Preferably, the connector clip provides a generally rectangular receptacle for the cable connector.
The cable connector may be insertable into the receptacle and held by projection of the clip. The clip may have external resilient spring tabs and a generally rectangular cross-section so that it is insertable into a rectangular slot of a back panel or plane. Projections on the spring tabs hold the clip in the slot. The clip can be attached and detached from the panel and the cable connector can be i28921S
inserted and removed from the clip, by hand, without the need for any tools.
A side wall of the clip may be provided with a raised rib which is insertable into a notch of the rectangular slot to provide a polari~ation indication and a mechanical stop to off load the spring tabs to avoid overstressing of these tabs. In this way, the clip can be inserted into the slot only in one way so that the cable connector is properly oriented in the slot.
The various features of novelty which charac-terize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclo-sure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the connector clip in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view taken in the direction of arrow 2 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view taken in the direction of arrow 3 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a rear elevational view taken in the direction of arrow 4 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along lines 5-5 of Fig. 3;
.
~L2892~5 Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but with a ribbon cable connector attached; and Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 5, but with a ribbon cable connector attached.
Referring to the drawings, a one-piece clip, generally designated 10, has a side wall 12 and opposite end walls 11 connected to the side wall 12 and defining with the side wall a receptacle for receiving a ribbon cable connector shown at 100 in Figs. 6 and 7.
As shown in Fig. 1, the receptacle which is bounded at the top and bottom by end walls 11 and at one side by side wall 12, is open at its opposite side. Its rear is covered by a back strap 34. The inner surface of side wall 12 carries front and rear lips 14 and 16, respectively, and a plurality of transversely extending ribs 20. The outside surface of side wall 12 carries a polarizing and load relief rib 32 which is also visible in Figs. 2 and 4.
Access openings 44 are provided in side wall 12 near end wall 11 and access opening 42 is provided between rear lip 16 and back strap 34.
The inner surfaces of end walls 11 carry direc-tional snap tabs 18 and locating steps 36.
A resilient spring mounting tab 22 is connected to the outer surface of each end wall 11 near the front lip 14. Both tabs 22 extend at a diverging angle from the front of the clip to define inclined surfaces or ramps 24. A lead ramp 26 having an inclined front edge and a perpendicular rear edge is positioned on tab 22 inter-mediate its length. This is followed by a panel slot 27 ~289215 which, at its rear, is bounded by a stop rib 28. Anupturn 30 is provided at the rear end of each tab 22 to provide a grip area for removal from a mounted surface.
Referring now once more to Figs. 6 and 7, the cable connector 100 has a rectangular solid head to which the ribbon cable 102 is connected. The head of connector 100 includes a front edge 104 and rear connecting projec-tions 106.
To attach connector 100 to clip 10, the rectan-gular head of connector 100 is inserted through the openside clip 10 in a direction toward the side wall 12. The front edge 104 of the connector head is seated behind the front lip 14 and against the side wall rib 120. The ends of connector 100 are held laterally by locating step 36.
The clip 10 is made of one piece and from resilient material such as polycarbonate (e.g. Lexan 940-701, a registered trade mark). The one piece clip 10 can be injection molded. Its inherent resiliency permits the connector head to be pressed past the directional snap tabs 18 which then snap against the back edge of the con-nector head as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. In this way, the connector head is held firmly within the clip receptacle.
The connecting projections 106 bear backwardly against the back strap 34 so that the connector is held firmly in all 25/ directions within the clip 10. While the connector 100 can be removed by hand simply by spreading the end walls 11, removal may be facilitated by using simple tools, such as a screw driver or the like, which are insertable through access openings 42 and 44 to dislodge the connector head.
Once the connector is engaged in the clip 10, the clip 10 can then be inserted into an oversize :- - :
~2892~
rectangular slot in a back panel (not shown). Upper and lower edges of the slot bear against ramp surfaces 24 to compress the tabs 22 toward the end wall 11. The edges of the slot are then pressed past the lead ramps 26 to final-S ly engage in panel slots 27. The forward progress of theclip 10 is stopped by the stop ribs 28. The resiliency of the material of clip 11 holds tabs 22 outwardly against upper and lower edges of the slot.
A notch may be provided in the slot which close-ly receives the rib 32. Rib 32 thus acts to ensure thatclip 11 is inserted in the right orientation to present its connector 100 in the right polarity. Rib 32 also supports the vertical weight of the clip to remove load from the resilient tabs 22.
To remove clip 10, the tabs 22 are squeezed toward each other and the clip is simply withdrawn from the panel slot. The pulling action is facilitated by the upturns 30.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the embodiment may be modified without departing from such principles as set forth in the appended claims.
